South Dublin home combining 1970s design with high-end modern features
The four-bedroom property was renovated in 2006.
THE 1970s MEET 2019 at this recently upgraded Killiney home. The current owners have ensured the place retains much of its original character while also enjoying a modern feel.
Approached via a 120ft tree-lined driveway, 35 Rock Lodge enjoys the upmost privacy and is bordered by mature woodland and shrubbery. The entrance hallway was extended in 2006 as part of a large renovation of the property to maximise the use of space and natural light through the introduction of high ceilings and a large front window.
Cherrywood floors run throughout most of the ground floor, while a feature staircase demands attention in the inner hallway. From here, there’s access to the sitting room, bathroom and open-plan kitchen and dining room.
Also renovated in 2006, the solid teak fitted kitchen features Amtico flooring, three Velux windows and ample storage space, as well as a separate utility room. There’s room to seat four people in here, while the adjoining dining area accommodates at least six. Sliding doors lead to the west-facing rear garden for no-fuss al fresco dining.
Across the hall is the living room, which spans the depth of the property and is ideally suited for entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, while a feature open fireplace gives a warm and cosy feel. A study to the front of the property completes the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom enjoys views of Dublin Bay. The remaining three bedrooms are each double in size and feature fitted carpet, while two come complete with fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom, with Amtico flooring and attractive tiling, is also on this floor.
Outside, the rear garden enjoys views of Dublin Bay and Howth Head, with plenty of room for soaking up the sun during the warmer months in privacy.
There are a number of primary and secondary schools within close proximity to the property, while after-school hours can be enjoyed in the nearby Killiney Hill Park. Fitness enthusiasts will never be short of things to do, with Dalkey Hill, Killiney Strand and Killiney Golf Club all close by, while water sport-lovers can be at Dun Laoghaire Harbour within a 10-minute drive.
The Cherrywood Luas stop is a 10-minute drive away, as is the Sandcove and Glasthule DART stop for ease of access to the city centre.
